FAQ's

Clear answers to what matters most to investors

We get asked these all the time

In most cases yes, since the foreign investment system requires a foreign owning company at least one year old, but there are alternative paths that may make it unnecessary altogether, such as the entrepreneurial license or Premium Residency under certain conditions. We help you secure the foreign company whether you need one or more, and we prepare your existing company to meet the investment requirements if you have one.

Foreign investment is a path that allows any permitted activity and does not require the project to be new. The entrepreneurial license is designed for startups, with reduced Ministry of Investment fees in the first 3 to 5 years, but it requires the project to be approved by an accredited business incubator. We help you prepare the files, get the project approved by the incubator, and apply to the Ministry of Investment.

Generally yes, but there is a list of activities, updated by a dedicated committee within the Ministry of Investment, that are off-limits to non-Saudi investors, or carry additional restrictions, or require approvals from relevant authorities. We help you precisely determine the list of activities suited to your business, and guide you to the authorities you need to obtain special approvals from if required.

The timeline ranges between 6 and 12 weeks depending on your activity and how ready your documents are. The initial diagnosis and preparing the foreign company may take 3 to 4 weeks, the investment license from MISA takes two to three weeks, followed by setup with the Ministry of Commerce and activating the platforms. Setting the right path for your goals from the start saves you wasted time and rework.

No, most setup steps can be completed remotely. Your physical presence may be required only in very specific steps if you do not have a representative, such as representing the foreign company and signing on its behalf before the relevant authorities. We plan the entire setup process for you so your procedures don't stall.

Yes, all nationalities can set up. Nationalities tied to international sanctions may face stalled residency issuance steps, but they can set up a company in the Kingdom and appoint a general manager for it. We have so far served investors from more than 50 different nationalities.

Capital requirements vary by the categories of activities involved, so trading activities under full foreign ownership require 30 million SAR, while services, manufacturing, and agriculture activities may start from 10,000 SAR. And to date there is no requirement to deposit the full capital to set up the company in Saudi Arabia.

No, setting up the company alone does not guarantee Premium Residency. Premium Residency has its own independent program with six different products, one of which is "Business Investor", which requires an actual investment of a defined size, but having your Saudi company may smooth the path. We clarify the difference between the six products, and help you choose the one most suitable for your situation.

Yes, Premium Residency extends its benefits to parents, spouse, and children under 25, and this is one of its strongest advantages compared to ordinary residency, as it allows them to study, travel, work, and start businesses with the same full privileges of Premium Residency holders.

Yes, the new real estate ownership system that took effect in January 2026 allows non-Saudis to own property. Each category (resident, non-resident, foreign company) has its own journey and distinct rules, and there are approved geographic zones for ownership. We guide you to the correct legal path based on your situation and goal.

Yes, the new system allows non-residents to own as well, but with more specific controls, such as a focus on defined geographic zones, and requirements on the property's type and value. The procedures differ from those for residents or registered foreign companies. We clarify the detailed path suited to your category specifically.

Yes, following the update approved by the Council of Ministers in June 2026, non-Saudi ownership is now available across the Kingdom's cities within defined geographic zones, including Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah, and Riyadh. However, Makkah and Madinah carry a special rule, as ownership there is limited to non-Saudi Muslim individuals and to Saudi companies with foreign ownership, within the approved zones. The details also differ by your category, whether you hold ordinary or Premium Residency, are a GCC national, a non-resident, or a company. We clarify the exact path suited to your category and the target property.

Yes, a non-Saudi can obtain financing from financing institutions in the Kingdom, including real estate financing, personal financing, car purchase financing, and more, and the financing can be for the person themselves or for the foreign company, as it depends on your situation, your income, and the nature of the financing requested, and financing is not limited to banks, other financing institutions provide it too. We accompanied more than 70 clients in obtaining their financing, and we will work on connecting you with the financing institution most suitable for your situation.

Both are available legal paths. Ownership transfer is done by amending the articles of association and updating the commercial registration at the Ministry of Commerce. Closure requires a formal liquidation, by settling the tax and labor obligations, then the final step is closing the investment license. We handle these procedures for you at the right time to avoid any accumulating obligations.

Yes, registering your trademark in the US or UK secures your intellectual property rights in major global markets, and owning an internationally registered trademark also strengthens your position in Saudi Arabia, and you can submit it when applying to register your trademark locally to speed up your application. We handle the procedures for you from the initial search to receiving the registration certificate.

Yes, we open a bank account for your US company at banks dedicated to companies with international activity, and link it to a suitable payment gateway like Stripe to receive your clients' payments from anywhere in the world, and the account supports multiple currencies and international transfers. We guide you to the bank most suitable for the nature of your activity.
